Levelling Up: Maths for Engineering 

Levelling Up: Maths for Engineering is an opportunity for Year 12 girls studying A-Level Mathematics (or equivalent), who intend to pursue an engineering-related degree at university (where A-Level Mathematics is a required subject). 

Through near-peer undergraduate tutoring and guest speakers, the programme seeks to inspire students and make them feel welcome, valued and included.  

From March 2025 participating students will receive continuous support until the A-level examinations in Year 13.

We will support A-level maths students on our programme with tutorials that give maths concepts a practical engineering angle. For example - how vectors are used to build bridges, calculus in designing wind turbines, and probability to create safe transportation systems.

The primary goal is to help students improve their maths grades in the A-level examination from C to B, B to A, A to A*. Maths is the core entry requirement for STEM subjects at higher tariff universities.

Our exceptional team of female engineering students, enrolled in a diverse range of engineering courses, will lead regular tutorials throughout the term.
